Models and peer teaching as pedagogical methods in the surgical pathology laboratory.
Introduction: Pathologists' Assistants (PAs) are highly trained health care professionals who examine ("gross") patients' surgical specimens for diagnosis and treatment planning.

During their training, graduate students learn using real patient material. Objective: To help prepare students for approaching patient samples, hands on activities using clay models and cheese strings were used to imitate prostatectomy and salpingectomy specimens respectively. Peer teaching was also assessed as a pedagogical method. Methods: This study's first author was taught to section an imitation prostate using a clay model and use the SEE-FIM protocol for salpingectomies using cheese strings. The clay model mimicked the anatomy and orientation of radical prostatectomy tissue encountered in the hospital laboratory. The cheese string was "stripped" on one end to imitate fimbriae. The student "teacher" then taught her classmates as well as first year pathology residents how to "gross" these cases. Results: Students and residents generally felt more confident about their ability to handle prostatectomy and salpingectomy cases in the gross room after this hands on, peer led activity. Some trainees noted they felt no significant difference between asking questions of a peer teacher compared to a pathologist. Conclusions: Hands on activities using models provide a safe environment for teaching the approach to patients' surgical specimens. Peer teaching is an effective pedagogical method. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Journal Article ougenre: Article language: English refInfo: holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
